Clearly, some people have missed the whole point of the Olympic games. Btw, that Animal Practice thing is reaching…clearly that was a coincidence as that commercial has aired many times since the games have started.
I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been watching the Olympics since the opening ceremony. I’ve seen that commerical for Animal Practice several times and never did I associate that monkey with Gabby Douglas, John Orozco or any other black gymnist or black person. Those who saw a connection between the monkey and Gabby need to seriously do some self-examination and ask themselves why the automatically assocaiated a monkey with a black person. I mean what frame of mind must you be in to make such a connection. Maybe that is secretly the way they see themselves but that is no reason for them to project their perception of themselves onto Gabby.I am disgusted that her incredible and historic win has been marred with first the hair thing and now the knee jerk reactions to a damn commercial. Its a shame.
Clearly some people dismiss overt or blatant racism as a figment of one’s imagination. Not surprising since being dismissive is a tactic perfected by the white media to excuse their ignorance and low class stupidity. It’s no concidence that the monkey commerical after Gabby’s win was done on purpose. After all NBC knew well in advance she won the Gold Medal and yet their first thought was to air that monkey advertisement after her win considering the grotesque and racist history there is behind the comparison of African Americans to monkeys and gorillas. And soccer fans in Europe have a long and ugly history of chanting racist monkey noises at black players. Clearly, only someone who happily remains uninform and comfortably dismiss racism can see nothing wrong with the racism spew at the black athletes during the games.
We really need to stop with these knee jerk reactions to what some random white people/person says. WHO CARES? They’re simply words. People that ignorant don’t deserve any attention.
Those random words turn into Black kids getting shot in the head while handcuffed. Some of your brainwashed black people need to wake up or stay asleep and stop claiming your black. Just say your the master doggy.
